Professional Pet Sitting Service in Sterrett, AL

FAQ's

1. What does a pet sitter do?
Pets adjust better to their owner's absence and experience less anxiety and stress when they can remain their home environments. WeCare PetCare makes this possible with daily visits to your home. In addition to meals, exercise, playtime and cleaning litter boxes or cages, WeCare PetCare can also administer medications, walk dogs and perform other pet-care duties. That's why in-home pet care is your best choice and the “pet-preferred” method of vacation and travel care.

WeCare PetCare can also provide vital home-care services while you are away, including:

Mail or newspaper pick up.
Plant care and watering.
Placing trash outside for pickup.
Rotating the lights.
Opening or closing the blinds to make your house look lived in.

WeCare PetCare can provide you with peace of mind while you're away.

2. What are the advantages for my pet?

Reduced Stress. Your pet stays in its own familiar secure environment where all the sights, smells and sounds say “Home!”
Diet and Exercise. Your pet stays in a familiar routine--enjoying his or her favorite foods and play areas.
No “Travel Trauma.” Travel in a vehicle to boarding facility or kennel may upset your pet.
Health Concerns. With a pet sitter, there is minimal exposure to illness of other animals.
T. L. C. Most importantly, your pet receives love and personal attention while you are away.

4. How do I prepare my home and pets for a pet sitting service?

Preparation can make a big difference in how smoothly things go for your pet when WeCare PetCare comes to visit. Here are some tips:

Make sure WeCare PetCare has a phone number where you can be reached. If inside services are requested, provide the pet sitter with a house key in addition to garage door openers. If you have new keys made, try them out to make sure they work.
Clean food and water dishes before leaving town.
Provide extra food, litter and other supplies just in case you're not able to return when planned.
Clean out the refrigerator to avoid smelly food spoilage and wash the dishes in the sink to prevent ants, flies or other pests.
Adjust the thermostat to keep the house comfortable for the pet during your absence. In warm weather, a closed-up house can get dangerously hot in a short time.
Leave a list of phone numbers in case WeCare PetCare needs to contact service or maintenance companies while you are away; i.e., plumber, electrician, cleaning service, yard maintenance, pool service, etc.
Tell WeCare PetCare of any household areas that are off-limits to your pets or to us. Secure access to those areas before leaving home.

5. What can I do to help "WeCare PetCare" take the best care of my pets?

You can help WeCare PetCare be a better friend to your pet by helping to make sure there are no problems while you are away. Planning and preparation in the following areas will smooth the way:

Tell WeCare PetCare about all health problems your pet may have—major or minor.
Provide written verification that your pet is up to date on its vaccinations.
Make sure your dog's collar fits—Otherwise he may slip out of a too-large collar while being walked.
If your dog is not accustomed to walking on a leash, practice with him before you leave.
Make a list of your pet's favorite hiding places. This will prevent WeCare PetCare from worrying if your pet is not where expected—and will know where to look.
Provide your own preferred method of flea control, even if your pets are currently flea free. Fleas multiply rapidly and can become a problem very quickly.
If you own both dogs and cats, do not ask WeCare PetCare to “just ignore the cats;” i.e., not charge, during pet-sitting visits. WeCare PetCare's professionalism, ethic responsibility and conscience would not allow the oversight of a cat in need of food, medical care or human attention.
If your dog growls or snaps at a us during a 'get-acquainted visit,” understand that we may ask that you make other arrangements for your dog's care during your absence.
